This J.B. Shurk piece in @FDRLST consists entirely of "this cannot be!" arguments. Point #3 is just factually wrong & I've already debunked it. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/no-joe-biden-did-not-only-improve-in-four-major-swing-state-cities/ …
Point #4 totally ignores the entire history of ticket-splitting in America.
